People trust the Digest and act on what they read. Over the years subscriber surveys have highlighted the strength of the magazine as a valued source of medical/healthcare information. In a recent UK study “articles in Reader’s Digest” came second only to the family doctor as an important source of medical information. Each month every edition in Europe carries a range of news items dedicated to health, called “RD Health”.

Timeless Women

An international survey, conducted in July 2008 by an independent market research agency (in association with Reader's Digest), forms the cornerstone of the "Timeless Women" campaign, launched by the IOF and Medical Women’s International Association (MWIA), and supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis.

The survey examines the lifestyles and attitudes of women with osteoporosis and compares those with the beliefs of doctors who treat women with osteoporosis.
